💅 MARSCAN(1e) — the EMBOSS Manual for Debian, but make it make sense 🧬✨

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, because we're talking about marscan — a whole command line program from the EMBOSS manual, living its best life in the Debian ecosystem 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

marscan — finds matrix/scaffold recognition (aka MRS) signatures in DNA sequences. yes. DNA. iconic behavior honestly 🧬💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

the vibe check, verbatim:

marscan -sequence seqall -outfile report

and also:

marscan -help

that's it, that's the whole thing, no cap 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so marscan is a command line program from EMBOSS — which stands for “the European Molecular Biology Open Software Suite” — she's fancy, she's European, she ate 🌈

she belongs to the "Nucleic:Gene finding,Nucleic:Functional sites,Nucleic:Transcription" command group(s). yes that's one long name, and yes she's in all three of them, main character energy only 👑

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

💜 Input section

  • -sequence seqall — that's your input, bestie. hand her the sequences here 💖

🌸 Output section

  • -outfile report — the file where the MAR/SAR recognition signature (MRS) regions go 🗂️✨ This contains details of the MRS in normal GFF format. And listen, because this part is important: the MRS consists of two recognition sites, one of 8 bp and one of 16 bp on either sense strand of the genomic DNA, within 200 bp of each other. two sites, 8 and 16, within 200 of each other — they're giving long distance relationship but make it base pairs 😭🫶

💀 BUGS 💀

found a bug? not me manifesting that 🙈 report it to the Debian Bug Tracking system at http://bugs.debian.org/emboss, or slide directly into the EMBOSS developers' DMs at http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=93650&atid=605031. they'll handle it, fr fr 🫡

👀 SEE ALSO 👀

marscan is fully documented via the tfm(1) system. iykyk 📖✨
